On behalf of the law student representatives, I again want to thank our attorneys and students who participated in our Resume Review/Mock Interview event.

It's that time of year again: not just the holidays, but finals! For us students, it can be an incredibly challenging and exhausting period. While discipline and preparation are imperative for finals success, it is also important to remember to take care of oneself. I encourage you to make sure you eat a good meal, get lots of rest, and allow yourself to indulge in a mini Netflix-binge or two (or whatever your predilection may be). Reach out to friends, classmates, and your BALIF mentor when your stress level is peaking. You've got this!

BALIF's holiday party is December 9 at Beaux. Law students who volunteer for a two hour shift will receive two drink tickets. I look forward to seeing everyone then!

BALIF has created the BALIF Partner Exchange to bring together our members that are looking to network and exchange business and ideas. This event is exclusively for BALIF members who are partners or ownersof their firm with 7 years or more of experience.

It's that time of the year again! BALIF's Connections mentorship program is seeking mentors and mentees for 2015-2016. For more information, see the program guidelines and descriptionon the BALIF website. If you are a law student, recent law school graduate, or newer attorney seeking a mentor, or if you are an experienced attorney interested in serving as a mentor, please contact the Young Lawyers and Students Programs Committee, younglawyers@balif.org. Mentor/mentee pairs will be assigned on a rolling basis from July-September.

We Want Your BALIFBuzz

We all love that section in our alumni newsletters that talks about who's doing what.

Well, we're introducing the BALIFBuzz to show-off all the great things that our members are doing. BALIFBuzz will be appearing in the weekly BALIF newsletter.
